From AJS Vice President for Program, Robin Judd

Dear AJS Community Member, 

As Vice President for Program, I am delighted to issue the Call for Papers for the 53rd Annual Conference of the Association for Jewish Studies. I hope you will join me at this year’s conference to be held in person December 19–21, 2021 at the Sheraton Grand Chicago in Chicago, Illinois. The sessions you propose are the heart of the conference, and we appreciate the investment of our members in making the annual conference such a stimulating and engaging gathering.

As you will see, the AJS conference offers many ways to highlight cutting-edge scholarship, promote scholarly collaboration, network with diverse colleagues, and mentor future scholars. We have over twenty different divisions that reflect the diversity of our scholarship, and this year will be introducing a new wildcard division, "Disability Studies."

We have updated our submission-related web pages to make this process simple and clear. This Call for Papers contains detailed information about types of sessions, the submission process, and subject area divisions, as well as a conference FAQ. We also encourage you to watch a recorded webinar on writing abstracts.
